Things To Do
Kona International Airport
Airport we recommend flying into.
Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park
This is the beach David proposed <3
Hang Loose Boat Tours
Hang Loose Boat Tours is the company we will be booking our Manta Ray Snorkeling tour through. They provide wet suits, flippers, and the float for the snorkeling. To snorkel with the manta rays it is $112.50 per person. If snorkeling with the mantas is not your speed that is totally okay! They do offer ride along pricing, where you can ride on the boat to the snorkel spot but can view these majestic creatures from the boat.
Mauna Kea
Watch the sunset above the clouds! 4WD is mandatory to go to the top. After sunset park rangers will have people drive back down to base camp where you can freely star gaze from the visitor center and your car. There are star gazing tour available online, they start at $320 for a group. A group can host 14 people.
Heavenly Hawaiian Kona Coffee Farm Tours
Our favorite coffee farm. We will be going here for a tour with family and friends; tours start at $27 per person.
Farmers Market
Farmers markets can be found all around the island. Fresh fruit can be found there along with souvenirs. P.S. mangosteens are delicious
Kona Pub and Brewery
There are live bands here that play throughout the week and they have good food and yummy beer.
Island Breeze Lu'au
We would love to experience a lu'au with our family and friends, this is the show that we have selected to go to. They have various packages that fit the needs of each group. For more information and booking please go to the website listed.
Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Fingers crossed Kilauea has an episode while we are there! We obsessively watch the website and live stream of the volcano, so will let everyone know about an upcoming episode the week of. There is hiking throughout the entire park and hiking trails around the crater, if there is not an episode in progress there are trails that lead down into the crater.
Holualoa Village
Kailua-Kona
Downtown Kona is beautiful and has many options for dining, shopping, and different beaches.
Hilo
This little town is on the other side of the island, but is a different vibe than Kona or Holualoa. More rainforest!
